Why
sponsor a student
This unique program gives Australian Christians the opportunity to sponsor an emerging leader from a developing country to receive culturally relevant training at a trusted Bible college.
You can choose to sponsor a student as an individual, family, Bible study group, or Church.
By sponsoring a student you will enable a future pastor to be fully prepared to defend the truth of the gospel and faithfully share the good news with their nation.

Meet some of our sponsor students
ROXANA: “I am really thankful to God for this huge opportunity to study the Bible. I am learning so much…I love every class, I love my teachers and my classmates. It is the first time that I am studying the Bible in a Christian atmosphere and I am so thankful. Something that I love in my meeting or my studies groups is the first thing that we do is pray!…God is working so much in my heart because Jesus is showing me how much He loves his church.”
NISHAN: “I am learning intermediate Greek. It has completely changed my view on looking at any verse of the Bible. As I am preparing for a sermon or any theological discussion the first thing that comes to mind has changed from ‘what do I understand’, to ‘what is the author trying to say to its original audience’ and to draw applications from it…There are many spots [in Nepal] that need to be filled with God’s true words and I am hoping I can be a contribution to the Nepali Christian community.”
MXO: “The false [prosperity] gospel is becoming popular in our rural areas. My desire is to preach the truth of the Bible as God wants. I can’t wait to study African Church History because this will be the context that I will be ministering to in the future. After finishing my studies I would like to go back to my rural area and pastor a church there.”
MESHACK: “My own mother was a witch doctor. She devoted me to her gods, expecting me to inherit her work. But by the grace of God, I was chosen by the almighty God to be purified and used for his glory. I apply for this sponsorship so that it may help me go to further theological studies in order to serve the Almighty God in a proper way.”
VANESSA: “When I complete the course I want to be full-time in ministry serving the Lord and…be able to equip others with the knowledge of truth of the Bible in my community. The knowledge that I have gained I will share with others proclaiming the good news of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, for we are here to raise disciples for the kingdom of God. I want to become a lecturer at a Bible teaching college too one day. I thank God for the privilege that God has given me to learn to know and serve him better through gaining the deeper understanding of the Bible and being equipped to teach it well to others.”
NYAKAHO: “I am very grateful for this sponsorship, which supports me in my studies…I pray that through my studies, I will improve more, love God with his people, and spread the gospel in truth in order to make a larger number of people evangelised according the witness of the gospel…My hope is to be a good teacher of doctrine in our nation, especially in rural areas where the leaders do not follow well the inspiration of the Scripture.”

SELECT A COUNTRY (OPTIONAL)
If you would like to, you can indicate your preference for:
– Your sponsor student’s home country
– The Bible College where your sponsor student will be studying.
While we will try our best to match your preferred home country or Bible college, this may not always be possible. We’ll check that you’re happy to proceed before starting your sponsorship.
Of course you may prefer that Anglican Aid simply matches you with a student who needs your sponsorship the most – which we will be happy to do!
INTRODUCTION TO YOUR STUDENT
A friendly Anglican Aid team member will be in touch to let you know about the sponsor student who has been matched with you.
If you would like to proceed, we’ll ask for the payment details for the sponsorship.
You can choose to sponsor via credit card or direct debit; and choose between weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly payments.
We’ll let you know the date that your sponsorship commences.
You’ll receive a sponsor pack with more information about your sponsor student.
GROW IN PARTNERSHIP
Anglican Aid will regularly forward prayer letters from your sponsor student and updates on their progress.
You are encouraged to develop a long-term relationship with your student from their first year of study through to graduation, through regular prayer and correspondence.
You may then choose to continue to follow their journey as they go on to strengthen churches and transform communities in their home country, to the glory of God.
